The triple Baconator has more than an entire days recommendation of fat in one sandwich. I don't think there is a fast food item that is more unhealthy. (and no the double down doesn't even come close, those actually aren't any more fattening than a whopper or big mac) It's probably not something to eat on a regular basis.

are you American? are you also fat? maybe you can be the one to help me!

i'm trying to budget for this trip i am making to the US of A and need to know how much i need to allocate for food. i will mostly be eating fast food. what is the average cost of a medium or large meal from the likes of mcdonalds, wendys, kfc, subway or burger king? if you know other chains that i could visit please let me know! i am hoping to spend less than $20 a day on food, is this realistic? thanks in advance

Thats limiting yourself there kinda lol, just to fast food?
you MIGHT be able to spend $20 dollars a day on food, maybe, but you probably won't be very full.
You're gonna have to splurge a little more if you want to eat decently.

It also depends on what area of the country you're visiting.

Hi I am a white male! I am pleased to meet you.
I am automatically racist and privileged. I make more money than you. I cannot grasp the concept of racism nor can I feel its effects because I am white, hence empathy is impossible for fair skinned folks like me. I am a bad person for being White. Shame on me! Thanks for teaching us so much about equality and prejudice, MLK!

Ahaha. What. How much do you eat? I could live on that so easily it's almost untrue.

If he's buying groceries or gong to fast food places, yeah, $20/day is enough. If he's going out to a decent restaurant, $20 might get him two meals. Might. Two meals might be enough or it might not. It really depends on where you go and what you eat.

Edit: Also seconding Kreis on the Wendy's thing. As far as fast food places, I'd pick Wendy's over McNasty and Burger King any day.

The same Wendy's that happily sold its Japanese customers Foie Gras?

A human being can easily live on $20 a day. Anyone who says otherwise is lying or greedy.

I don't really eat a lot of fast food, but I definitely like Wendy's the best. I liked Burger King a lot but they've recently changed their chicken nugget recipe and they're basically exactly like McDonald's now. Very disappointed. Also, Wendy's has sea salt fries and they're kind of the bomb.

I've started to like Wendy's considerably more over the years. Could just be me.

Shame they retired those chicken strips they had like seven years ago, though.

I would imagine that any bacon burger would pretty much be basically a mass of bad health.

I eat a ton of food. When I go to fast food places I eat double cheeseburgers and ****. large fries and all too

take that back

The best fast food place I've encountered is Whataburger. It's a Texas-born joint that is also in Florida, Oklahoma, and a few other southern states. IT. IS. THE. BEST. Its burger is unrivaled AND huge to boot. You will never have a burger like it. It is awesome.
